A Running Boy. Marcus Holst von Schmidten

The artist achieved a strong contrast between light and shadow, using chiaroscuro to make the boy stand out against the darker background. Soft colors blend into the sky, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Jens Juel, a prominent Danish portrait painter, created the work in the year of his death. Many of his portraits are displayed at Frederiksborg Castle, highlighting his extensive work in the genre.
